Since 2009, we've given visibility to research and personal accounts demonstrating how pornography can negatively impact individuals, relationships, and society. Through this grassroots movement, millions of people have found hope and freedom. We couldn't do this without Fighters like you!
Hi, I relate a lot to you latest post. I don’t remember at what age I started watching porn but it was definitely in middle school. I used to think that it was normal, liberating and that people who were against it didn’t realise the benefit of it. This led to me having sexual experiences too early and that are now traumatic for me to think about. A few years ago i encountered your page and learnt the reality of this sick industry, and i am so glad I did because i always speak about it and love doing so. Unfortunately I haven’t quit porn yet but I’m trying, right now I can’t go to therapy for this but I hope I can in the future. I’m 18 and from Italy and I would love to do something to help with what you do. I wanted to speak about this, thanks for what you’re doing❤️
I know you guys probably get hundreds of DMs, but I just wanted to thank the people who run this account. I have struggled with porn since I accidentally came across it on Pinterest (of all the places) when I was 10 years old. My entire childhood/young adulthood has been plagued by the horrible cycle of guilt, shame, resistance, redemption, and inevitable pain again that comes from a life of porn addiction. And it hurts so badly to know that my feelings are nothing compared to those of the people I helped exploit. It’s haunting. On nights that I’m struggling, getting on Instagram and reading your stories gives me the strength to say no. Thank you for helping me in the fight for real love. I fight for the dignity of every person.
I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for your page. It’s helped me heal and have compassion for an ex of mine whereas there used to be anger. I now have the balance of knowing I should keep my distance because what he is facing is bigger than I’m capable of helping him fight and it’s not my battle but also have compassion for him and his struggles instead of anger and resentment. It’s also helping me move toward healing and know that things I went through with him because I didn’t know how to handle it and struggled to stick to my boundaries, don’t define me and my worth as a woman. So thank you ❤️
I just wanted to share that porn fueled the sexual abuse and assault I experienced as a teen. Thanks to resources like yours, I’ve been able to find healing, peace, and a life after trauma. I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Someday, no one will suffer like I did and that gives me so much joy.
